5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CableCreation 3.5mm Audio Cable, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Proper Storage: Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles. Utilize the cable's tangle-free design by loosely coiling it when not in use.
- Clean Connectors: Periodically inspect the gold-plated connectors for dust or debris. Gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
- Avoid Excessive Force: When plugging or unplugging, always grasp the connector housing, not the cable itself, to prevent strain on the connections.
- Protect from Extremes: Keep the cable away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture to prevent material degradation.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No audio or intermittent sound. | Loose connection, incorrect port, device volume too low, or incompatible case. | Ensure both ends of the cable are fully inserted into their respective ports. Check that the correct audio input/output ports are being used. Increase volume on both source and output devices. If using a bulky phone case, remove it to ensure a complete connection. |
| Sound quality is poor (static, distortion). | Interference, damaged cable, or dirty connectors. | Ensure the cable is not near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Clean the connectors with a soft, dry cloth. Test with another audio cable if possible to rule out device issues. |
| Microphone function not working with headset. | Cable does not support microphone function. | This CableCreation 3.5mm Audio Cable is a 3-pole TRS jack, which transmits stereo audio only and does not support microphone input. For microphone functionality, a 4-pole TRRS cable is required. |
